Yesterday is gone.
Nothing can be changed
So don’t sweat it
Let it go, don’t covet it
It belongs to the dead
Let historians ponder its landscape.
Walk on ahead, don’t regret it.
Tomorrow is a beautiful dream
Love, opportunities and promises gleam
But all in the far-off distance
Tomorrow is still an un-flowing stream
That only Nostradamus can see.
Don’t be in a hurry to greet it.
Today is all we have
The only thing immortal.
The magic’s in the moment
Today is the only thing real.
Promises, prospects, love and dreams
All live in today only.
They are not dead, or far away
Value and respect today
It’s the only life-source
The only place to grow
Embrace it with an open heart
Make the best use of today.
Today is the only day
The most auspicious you got
Never let it rot
Give it your best shot
Tomorrow is promised to none
Take care of your today
It’ll take care of tomorrow
There is magic and power in Now.
